The popularity of diesel-powered vehicles in motorsports is still on the rise, and racers are continuing to search for the performance limits of these engines. In the National Hot Rod Diesel Association (NHRDA), Top Diesel is the category where the quickest racer's do battle, and its points leader, Wade Moody, is one of the best. Wade Moody recently became the first person with a common rail Duramax to break into the six-second barrier at the Midwest Truckin’ Nationals held at Gateway Motorsports Park near St. Louis with his high-tech dragster.
Moody debuted his 2005 Spitzer dragster in 2015 at the NHRDA race in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The dragster features an NGM Diesel Race Engines all-aluminum billet Duramax powerplant that features Diamond Pistons. Hardway Performance, Flo Pro, and Industrial Injection supplies the massive injectors and fuel pump needed to feed the motor its diesel fuel. A pair of BorgWarner EFR turbos provide the boost, and are controlled by a NLR Systems boost controller.
The engine is backed by a Rossler-built TH400 transmission that was worked over by David Gates, and is matched to a Pro Torque torque converter. All of these parts mixed together led to the record-setting pass of 6.997 at 192.80 mph with a 60-foot time of 1.094.
